Don't sweat it pal, everyone has an extraordinary miss now and then. It's just like the time I picked up that girl at the tavern, and I thought for sure she was a virgin. Well, two weeks later I'm in the emergency room with a tenacious social disease. And the doc said the ailment is only transmitted by males. Boy, was my face red . . . as well as other parts of my body. -KD

Wow, those are some expert karate skills. I especially like the black guy who looks like Jim Kelly who played Williams in Enter the Dragon, and showed that '70s cinema wouldn't let African-Americans even survive kung-fu movies. Or was it that they wouldn't let guys named Jim Kelly win it all? I don't know, I'll have to watch that movie again. -KD

100% Injury Rate describes this video as such:

A martial arts master flips a girl over using his feet and tries to get her to fall to the canvas spread eagle style – if that happens, an eagle flies up the screen. That's literally about it. The crowd is just insane though. You'd think they were watching some sporting event that determined the fate of the free world.

I think that blows things out of proportion just a little bit.  I mean, I don't think the guy is a martial arts "master."  That'd be like calling me kung fu warrior for exposing myself on the subway.  Although "kung fu warrior" does have a nicer ring to it than "two-time sex offender."  That's right, baby: I've only been caught twice.

"YESSSSS!!!  I kicked him in the face!  Hey everybody!  Look at me!  I kicked him!  In the FACE!  And then he fell down!  Hey!  Hey!  Over here!  I'm on the fence over here!  Hey!  I kicked a guy in the face!"

Okay, we fucking see you.  Way to ruin an awesome face-kicking.

Finally, a video metaphor for how I handled the response to the hubbub over a certain high school pole vaulter.  I gotta say, all that training really paid off.

The FanHaus picked up on this brilliant piece (sarcasm!) of tut-tutting by ABC News, which clearly needs to fire a reporter:

There is a frightening new trend in locker rooms, backyards and basements across the country: unsupervised children and teenagers pummeling one another, wearing only athletic helmets and gloves for protection. It's a risky new twist on "Fight Club," where anything goes… No-holds-barred fighting has long been popular on television, in shows like "American Gladiators" and "The Ultimate Fighting Championship."

Great point, except UFC isn't a TV show and the "no-holds-barred fighting" on "American Gladiators" was people hitting each other with giant Q-Tips and getting shot by tennis ball cannons.  In fact, here's part of America's legacy of televised violence:

Yup, there goes the country.  It's really terrible when kids stop playing video games to go outside and learn to take a punch.  Heaven forbid any of our youth grow up to not be total pussies.
